(b) Description of the Prior Art
Most of the conventional torchiere lamps use halogen bulbs which may burn people who use the lamps or cause fire to endanger lives and properties. Therefore, an overheat de-energizing circuit needs to be provided to pause the operation of the halogen bulb, which will affect the effect of lighting and the safety. Although there are the LED torchiere lamps afterward, a conventional LED torchiere lamp uses high-voltage alternating current of 100V-240V as the power source, as shown in FIG. 1; therefore, a voltage reduction technology should be used to acquire lower voltage, wherein a transformer or a switching mode power supply is normally used to reduce the voltage, and then the AC (Alternating Current) current is converted to DC (Direct Current) current which is converted in turn to a constant source of DC current, thereby making the LED source to illuminate. However, a conventional AC-to-DC conversion system is large in size and has high loss to increase the cooling cost considerably, which shortens the lifetime of usage of the LED lamp greatly.

1. An Light Emitting Diode (LED) torchiere lamp with overheat and overvoltage protection functions, comprising:
a high-voltage rectifying circuit, wherein the high-voltage rectifying circuit rectifies high-voltage alternating current as high-voltage direct current; and
an Integrated Circuit (IC) drive circuit, wherein one or plural IC drive circuits is configured depending upon a quantity of a loaded chip LED lamps,
wherein the high-voltage rectifying circuit is connected with the IC drive circuit without using a conventional transformer or an electrolytic capacitor,
wherein constant current is provided to the LED lamp through the high-voltage rectifying circuit and the IC drive circuit,
wherein when a temperature of the LED lamp exceeds a set temperature, a voltage of the LED lamp is dropped and a current in the LED lamp is decreased to cool the LED lamp to reduce brightness, and
wherein the IC drive circuit is built in with an electronic switching circuit, an analog light dimmer circuit, and a Pulse Width Modulation (PWM) light dimmer circuit.
2. The Light Emitting Diode (LED) torchiere lamp with overheat and overvoltage protection functions, according to claim 1, wherein all the circuits and elements of the high-voltage rectifying current and the IC drive circuit are installed on a single PCB (Printed Circuit Board) which is disposed on a top of the torchiere lamp.
3. The Light Emitting Diode (LED) torchiere lamp with overheat and overvoltage protection functions, according to claim 1, wherein the overheat and overvoltage protection circuit starts to drop the voltage and decrease the current when the temperature of the LED lamp exceeds temperature setting of 85˜95° C., which cools down the LED lamp to reduce the brightness, thereby improving the safety of the LED torchiere lamp.
